yes, it does look nice, and I agree... a good claymore (or zweihander) would kick more ass than that sword would.
my fetish opinion hasn't changed I'm a sucker for mini skirts and thigh highs.... just as long as the woman wearing them doesn't belong in the killer whale species.
That sort of sword is designed for use on Horseback, with the double blades allowing for quick and sure strokes without overmuch danger of lopping the horse's head off.
However, it can also be used by people of high physical strength in single combat. Ep...23, I think, of Pumpkin Scissors demonstrated this. She fought off two dozen trained soldiers armed with a variety of melee gear, ranging from, if memory serves, rapiers to broadswords.
Also, there was something about having metal shoes as part of the style, but all I remember about that is one edge, lodged in the ground, being kicked out for a overhead sweep.
Also, while it does add charm, the sword wasn't the main point of the picture >_<.
